Annual Review 2021/22

Chair's Foreword

I am thrilled to introduce our annual review for 2021/22. Together, with our powerful partnerships across the private, public and voluntary sectors, we are building the most healthy, inclusive, sustainable and growing economy in the UK; with the support from our hardworking officer team and a wonderful Local Enterprise Partnership Board.

The past eighteen months have been especially challenging for the business community. 2021/22 started with the country still in Covid lockdown. The year ended with a cost-of-living crisis and the invasion of Ukraine. Our role as a LEP is to enable Cheshire and Warrington to navigate these storms, whilst we remain focused on the steps needed to deliver our vision.

Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership.
